NellyKorda
Saturday, she could wear Olympic golf gold — then end her career
Nelly Korda, the reigning world No. 1, is on the cusp of Olympic glory and potential retirement. A victory on Saturday would mark a triumphant conclusion to her golfing career, which has spanned 13 professional victories, including a major championship. Korda, known for her remarkable consistency and impeccable swing, has faced numerous challenges, including relentless pressure and personal adversity. Her Olympic journey has been marked by moments of brilliance and perseverance. If she prevails on the Kasumigaseki Country Club course, Korda’s victory will not only be a testament to her extraordinary talent but also a poignant farewell to a remarkable career in the sport.

North Carolina, US – World No. 2 Nelly Korda has withdrawn from this week’s AIG Women’s Open after being bitten by a dog on Sunday.
Korda was at her rented home in Florida when the incident occurred. She shared on social media that she received stitches on her arm as a result of the bite.
“Unfortunately, I will have to withdraw from the AIG Women’s Open due to a dog bite that required stitches,” Korda posted on her social media.
The 23-year-old American was one of the favorites to win the major championship. She has won two LPGA Tour events this season and finished second at the U.S. Women’s Open.
Korda’s withdrawal is a major blow to the AIG Women’s Open. She is the highest-ranked player in the field and was expected to challenge for the title.
